Strike (2010) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2010, Strike is a notable film directed by Hito Steyerl.

What it’s about. It begins with a blank screen. The word ‘STRIKE’ appears across it, in white capital letters against a black background. Then a woman appears, dressed in black. She approaches an empty LCD monitor and strikes its undifferentiated surface once with a chisel, leaving a multi-coloured web of fractures across it, before everything fades (back) to black. It’s all over in less than 30 seconds. Then it starts again.

Where to watch. Streaming options change often. See the full, country-by-country breakdown on our where to watch Strike page.
